Supreme Sessions 1 is the first release from our new label Marten Recordings.

This initiative came in 2013, during the process of developing our magnificent reference loudspeaker system, Marten Coltrane Supreme 2. We felt the need to get to the core of the audio world; the music and the recording.

Our goal has always been to recreate magical musical moments and to bring those to life in our client’s homes. With Coltrane Supreme 2 we wanted to go deeper into that process and create our own reference while trying to recreate the moment. How close to reality could we get?

For the recording, we used our own state-of-the-art studio that is designed for listening to music and developing new loudspeaker models. We used just two high quality microphones to replicate the way human hearing functions. We also decided to make the recordings live in the studio to keep the dynamics and the live feeling as much as possible. Everything was done to record the instant in time rather than a production made afterwards.

Peter Axelsson is the producer, musician and recording engineer of the album and producer is Leif Olofsson - chief designer at Marten.

A number of musicians perform across 13 tracks and different music genres to present a wide range of styles, voices and instruments.
